SIDE LETTER XX COVID-19 PAN -

The COVID-19 Pandemic Recession requires an 8.99% savings in BU6 employee compensation in order to balance the state budget. The parties have negotiated the following various savings measures which, when combined, comprise the required 8.99%.

I. Personal Leave Program 2020

Effective with the July 2020 pay period through the June 2022 pay period, employees will be subject to the Personal Leave Program 2020 (PLP 2020) for one (1) day or eight (8) hours per month in the manner outlined below. PLP 2020 shall have no cash value and may not be cashed out, except as permitted in the very limited circumstance described in subsection E below.

A. Each full-time employee shall continue to work their assigned work schedule and shall have a reduction in pay equal to 4.62% except:

• 7K Ranges = 4.5% • Fire Captain (9001), Range Land M (192 Hour Schedule)= 3.85% • Fire Captain (9001), Range N and P (216 Hour Schedule)= 3.42%

B. Each full-time employee shall be credited with twelve (12) hours of PLP 2020 on the first day of each pay period for the duration of the PLP 2020 program. These twelve (12) hours of PLP 2020 credit are for the eight (8) hours for a single day of payroll deduction in subsection A above and four (4) hours for the other achieved savings (e.g., suspensions of shift differential, reductions in holiday compensation/time, and reductions in uniform allowance).

C. Salary rates and salary ranges shall remain unchanged.

D. Employees will be given discretion to use PLP 2020 subject to operational considerations.

1. PLP 2020 time must be used before any other leave with the exception of sick leave in accordance with Appendix Item #11.

2. Employees may elect to use PLP 2020 in lieu of approved sick leave.

3. PLP 2020 shall be requested and used by the employee in the same manner as vacation/annual leave.

4. Subject to the above, requests for use of PLP 2020 leave must be submitted in accordance with departmental policies on vacation/annual leave.

E. All leave earned under PLP 2020 must be used prior to voluntary separation. Appointing powers may schedule employees to take PLP 2020 time off to meet the intent of this section. If an employee's separation is not voluntary and the separation date cannot be extended, PLP 2020 shall be cashed out. Time during which an employee is excused from work because of PLP 2020 leave shall not be considered as "time worked" for purposes of determining the number of hours worked in a work week.

F. A State employee shall be entitled to the same level of State employer contributions for health, vision, dental, flex-elect cash option, and enhanced survivor's benefits they would have received had the PLP 2020 not occurred.

G. PLP 2020 shall not cause a break in State service, nor a reduction in the employee's accumulation of service credit for the purposes of seniority and retirement. PLP 2020 does not affect other leave accumulations, or service towards a merit salary adjustment.

H . .PLP 2020 shall neither affect the employee's final compensation used in calculating State retirement benefits nor reduce the level of State death or disability benefits to supplement those benefits with paid leave.

I. The PLP 2020 reductions shall not affect transfer determinations between state civil service classifications.

J. Part-time employees shall be subject to the same conditions as stated above, on a pro-rated basis. Pro-ration shall be determined based on the employee's time base consistent with the chart below:

Part-time PLP 2020 Time Base Credit Hours

1/10 0.80 1/8 1.00 1/5 1.60 1/4 2.00 3/10 2.40 3/8 3.00 2/5 3.20 1/2 4.00 3/5 4.80 5/8 5.00

K. PLP 2020 for permanent intermittent employees shall be pro-rated based upon the number of hours worked in the monthly pay period, pursuant to the chart in Section P below.

L. PLP 2020 shall be administered consistent with the existing payroll system and the policies and practices of the State Controller's Office.

M. Employees on SDI, NOi, ENDI, IDL, EIDL, or Workers' Compensation for the entire monthly pay period shall be excluded from PLP 2020 for that month.

N. Seasonal and temporary employees are not subject to PLP 2020.

0. All Permanent Intermittent employees shall be subject to the pro-ration of salary and PLP 2020 credits pursuant to the chart below:
